The Red River Road Row.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 7.-The mo-
ton to continue the injunction to stop
the building of the Red River Valley
railway came on to-day before Chief
Justice Wallbridge. Twenty of the best
lawyers in the city are engaged on the
case, and it is expected the fight will be
a long and bitter one before it is con-
cluded. To-day was spent in reading
the bill of complaint and in reading
about fifty affidavits of people living
along the line of the railway, ali show
ing the value of the lands, the object in
stopping work, etc. This process oc-
cupied all day, court adjourning about
tomorrow. The opinion seems to pre-
vail that the decision, which will doubt
less be based on the technical wording
of the law instead of the justice
of the case, will be adverse to the
province. Despite any previous an
nouncement the impression prevails
here very strongly that Nerquoy has
not succeeded in New York in raising
81, 100000. The newspapers here are
demanding his return, saying he must
come back and face the music and not
absent himself as he is doing. If it has
to come to it Winnipeg will pass by the
law, raise million and loan it to the
province. 1t is asserted here by men
who have seen the documents that
despite Sir Johns denial of threatening
the province with British regulars, he
has written letters to Conservatives
here threatening that if the province
does not give way he will certainly send
in soldiers and shoot down those who
rebel. He asserts that he must enforce
the authority of the Dominion govern
ment. no matter what the consequences

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA FAIR.

Splendid Weather, Splendid At
fractions and Splendid Pros
poets.
Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER, Sept. 7.-Another bright
day to-day is very encouraging for the,
success of the Southern Minnesota Fair.
Proceeding to the grounds and entering
the main building, one is struck by the
unusual attractiveness of the Art Gal
lery. The exhibit of fine oil paintings,
crayons, water colors, ETC., is very large
this year, and unusually creditable to
the artists. The display of fancy needle
work, crocheting, ETC., in the ladies' de-
partment occupies one side of the west
wing and is pronounced by visitors to
exceed in elegance and quantity any
previous exhibit. The Dry Goods and
Clothing merchants spent several days
before the fair preparing their exhibits,
with delightful results. Such variety
OF designs and number of patterns of
dress goods, fancy wares, and ladies'
furnishing goods has never before been
seen in Rochester. The display of furs
is magnificent. Organs and pianos are
exhibited in the south and east wings
ind some fine instruments have been
placed there. The furniture dealers
tractive displays and they have most
effectively succeeded. A fine exhibit of
marble and tomb stones attracts much
attention. The management has added
a new department this year. that of an
tiqaities collected in and around Ohm
sted county, and it attracts crowds.
Everything that could be collected in
thNt line has been placed there, and it
makes an exhibit both curious and inter-
Wsting. The photographers have taken
special pains to show some fine work,
making creditable exhibits. Our hard
ware merchants have given visitors an
idea how to cope with Minnesota
weather in their magnificent display of
shelf hardware is also very fine. The
school exhibit, under the care of Super
intendent of Schools Chapman, is SO

IOWA STATE FAIR.
A Large Attendance--The Farm

erS' Alliance.
Special to the Globe
DEs MONIES, Sept. THE sky was
cloudlesS, the air was cool and bracing,
and it seems as if everybody living in
Central Iowa had turned out to-day to
see the state fair. Excursion trains
came into the city from every direction,
and they were all heavily loaded. The
Rock Island road, which carries the pas
sengerS to and from the city, sold l55, 600
tickets up to 4 p. M, at which hour the
crowd had just fairly started to return
to the city. The exhibit this year is by
all odds the finest the society has ever
had. The farm machinery and stock in
their magnitude and completeness are
simply wonderful. The Farmers alli-
ance held their second days ses-
sion on the grounds to-day and
adopted resolutions declaring in
favor of united action for protection of
their own interests, demanding that all
property, including money and credits,
be equally taxed, reduction of interest
from 10 to s per cent, reduction in the
freight and passenger tariff on railways,
limiting passes to railway employees;
that the railway commissioners be
elected by popular vote; that the sale
of public lands to nonresident aliens or
corporations be prohibited; that agri-
cultural interests should be represented
by cabinet officer. The alliance is
semi-politieal organization, which the
willy Gen. Weaver, who is now without
a party, is laying his wires to capture.
1t has great deal of strength in the
state, and is continually growing, so
that when it does take hand In politics
its influence will be felt forthwith.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
On the Burlington & Quincy Near
the Village of Alton, 10,


DEs MONIES, To-, Sept. THE fast
mail on the Chicago, Burlington 81
Quincy railroad ran into the regular
passenger train, westward bound, near
Alton. this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
passenger had been detained by
freight, and the fast mail failed to no
tice the signal TO stop. The list of in
jured was chiefly confined to the sleeper
on the rear end of the passenger train,
as follows:
Killed-Infant child Of Rev, A. E.. Mosher.
Injured-Mrs Mosher. head and arms
badly cut, will probably die; Charles Cook, of
Brooklyn n. Y, with wife and two sons, the
probably fatally, other members of the family
not seriously hurt; l.. j. Gray, of Greenfield,

eothe, Wis. spine injured: Sarah Griminger,
Cleveland o., scalded;, Miss Anna Morrell,
Red Oak, To-, face and arms scalded; j. A.
Bailey and wife, of Michigan, both injured
In back and Slightly scalded; G. Brockman
and wife, of Michigan, slightly scalded.
The injured are cared for at the Sum-
NIT house, at Creston, and are doing as
well as could be expected. The engi-
neer and fireman of the fast mail saved
themselves by jumping. 1t was in
rounding sharp curve that the disaster
occurred. The passenger train was
concealed from view. A few miles back
the mail train had been tagged by the
passenger on account of the same
freight. When the collision occurred
the mail train was only going twenty
miles an hOur--a circumstance that pre-
vented much more horrible catas-
trophe. 1t is not definitely known how
the signal for the mail to stop was
given, but that it was not properly done
is inferred from the fact that the brake
man of the passenger train was taken
on board the mail when the first stop
was made, and the passengers crew was
therefore travelling short handed.

A Chicago Postal Emp1oye Gets
His Walking Paners.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Postmaster Judd
addressed letter yesterday to George
W. Weber, relieving him from further
duty as superintendent of the North di-
vision postal station and notifying him
that pending the appointment of his
successor the affairs of his office would
be intrusted to John Matter, formerly
superintendent of the stock yards sta
ton. In his letter Postmaster Judd
says he found sufficient evidence of the
truth Of the charges that Weber's official
and personal conduct had not been sat-
isfactory, to warrant his dismissal, not
outstanding his general denial of wrong
doing. The letter further stated that
in conflict with one or more of Mr..
Weber's unsupported denials the post
master was met by the af1idavits of six
different persons alleging his misman-
agement. Whether or not the affidavits
clearly proved the charges, he was salts
fed that there was enough of truth in
them to render it manifestly improper
that Mr.. Weber be retained in his pres
ent office. Mr.. Judd declined to fur
niSh the charges against Mr.. Weber,
saying that he believed they should be
furnished by Mr.. Weber, who probably
would not hesitate to do so.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 7.-An important
gathering of Catholic prelates has been
in session here to-day discussing plans
for the new Catholic university. Among
those present were Cardinal Gibbons,
of Baltimore: Archbishops Corrigan, of
New York; Williams, of Boston; Ryan,
of Philadelphia; Bishops Ireland, of
st. Paul; Keane, of Richmond: Spald-
ing, of Peoria; Marty, of Dakota,
and Macs, of COvington; Mgr. Far
ley, of New York, and number
of prominent priests and laymen from
different parts of the country. Wash
lngton City was selected as the choice
of the majority of the archbishops and
bishops in the United States for the site
of the university. The plans for the
buildings were presented and adopted,
and it was resolved to begin work dur
ing the present fall. Rev. DR.. Keane,
bishop of Richmond. was elected as
first rector of the university.
A building committee consisting
of Archbishop Williams, Bishop Keane
ton, were appointed. A collecting COM
mittee, including all the archbisho
and bishops in the United States, was
also appointed. 1t is said that IS, ,OOO, 900

university on a solid basis. Of that
amount about $1,000 has been secured,
including the 100000 donated by Miss

larities at the prison, and wanted him to
see ii there was any truth in them.
He had sent j. A. WeStby. the present
deputy warden, here, who remained two
weeks prior to within taking charge.
He found that it had been the custom
for things to be taken away from the
prison after night and some times by
day in box. He found there were too
many keys to the yard gates in charge
of prisoners. of men in the car com
pany's employ and of citizens down
town. He had the deputy change the
locks and take up old keys, and he had
so taken up twenty-five or thirty keys.
He was told the steward had allowed
things to be taken out of prison and to
the Warden'S house; that the eX-warden
had got

for years. Certain memoranda had been
placed in his hands substantiating this
in part. When he found out these things
he telegraphed Col. Hicks, and the
board had an examination. Found the
clerk had no means of knowing about
matters in the stewards or store
keepers departments, as they were
not put on the prison books. Warden
Reed was telegraphed for and came over
to meet the inspectors. Witness found
no inventory of state property when he
took the office, but only receipted for
cash in bank, which consisted of con-
yict funds and convicts' good-time
money. AT the time of the meeting of
the inspectors they found about 500
due the state from Reed for supplies he
had used, which he Reed) had since
paid over. Since the meeting other
things had come to light, and each item
was reviewed by him. He was then
cross-examined by Mr.. Marsh. Witness
stated that the fact of ''Cutler'' having
visited him and importuning him to
continue the contract for furnishing
freedom suits, and the fact that viii
Reed, late deputy warden, had appeared
SO anxious to have Deputy Westby
continue to trade with Cut

Marsh if he did not know what the
representative wanted to get from his
interview with Hunster and that he
would publish it. Witness thought it
was proper to let any reputable gentle
man interview prisoners in a proper
manner. He was asked if the reason
he had gone into the examination of his
llredecessor's conduct was not because
he had heard that Mrs. Reed had said
that Gov. McGill had appointed man

But since she made that remark SO fire.
